THIS WEEK ON True Blood: If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?
Alright, this is what I’m talking about. I dug last night’s True Blood more than I had any episode in recent memory. On a relative scale, nothing really happened. Everything was par the True Blood course. Couples fought. Vampires fucked. Melodrama was as melodrama is. However by slowing down the episode and giving characters time to interact on a personal level, the show hit with a funny, charming episode.

James Spader Officially Joins ‘The Office’. Just Let It Die. I Beg You.
The minds behind The Office have come together and officially announced their replacement for Steve Carell. Kind of. James Spader will be joining the cast for the eighth season of The Office, and he’ll be tasked with sort of but not really taking the position left behind by Michael Scott. It’s all a bit confusing.
THIS WEEK ON True Blood: You Smell Like Dinner
Still stuffed to the brim with hormonal beef, remnants of little alcohol atoms rocketing around my synapses, tired from the first day of work since Thursday, I sat down this afternoon and watched the second episode of True Blood’s fourth season. Be it the chemical-soaked flesh I munched en masse yesterday, the fatigue, the lingering hangover from too much frisbee and alcohol and too little water, but I enjoyed the episode.
David Goyer Is Bringing ‘100 Bullets’ To Showtime.
100 Bullets used to be a favorite comic series of mine. Then I fell out of the funny book swag for a good three or four years and when I returned I never caught up. Shame, damn shame. Even with this gulf between the series and myself, I’m pretty excited that it’s being adapted into a television show for Showtime.
‘Games of Thrones’ Theme Gets 8-Bit Style Remix.
The theme to Game of Thrones is one colossally awesome affair. Some enterprising lads or ladettes, or both, have taken said theme and given it an 8-bit wash. Now my favorite geeky fantasy TV show can sound like a throwback to the RPGs I played to the point of obesity and perma-virginity.

Game of Thrones: Baelor
Game of Thrones. I don’t usually write the column. I’m tagging in for the inestimably superior Oh Mars. As well, unlike Mars, I haven’t read the books. So bare with me, as I take to this endeavor as someone experiencing the events for the first time.
What a fucking episode to leave for, Coop! Goodness gracious. The end of all things! Or I suppose the culmination of the very depressing beginning to things. In case you missed the wonderfully overemphasized thesis statement during a scene at The Wall this penultimate episode of the season is dealing with Duty and Love.
